February 2 – Don’t Murmur!

Exodus 15:24 – Murmur is used 10 times in this passage, and this passage is the only times murmur is found in Exodus. (While browsing the complete text of Exodus, push Control-F and type ‘murmur’). Murmuring is not open, blatant rebellion; it’s a quiet grumbling – more like half-hearted obedience (or half-hearted disobedience). How do you think God feels about murmuring?

Exodus 16:15 – Manna will be feeding the Israelites from now until Joshua 5:12. It’s mentioned in Nehemiah 9:20, Psalm 78:24. According to Hebrews 9:4 it was stored in the Ark of the Covenant. Jesus talked about it in John 6:31, John 6:49, and John 6:58. Wonder what it tastes like? Overcome and you can eat of the hidden manna! (Revelation 2:17).

Matthew 22:7 – About 40 years after they slew the Servant (Matthew 12:18), the armies of Titus burned up the city of Jerusalem.
